Overfilled oil!

Overfilled oil!
Well I know some of you have mentioned the issue of our cars getting overfilled with oil and sure as crap they overfilled mine. I had its first oil changed just done at 8000 miles but I had to work that day so the wife took it in so i'm just now checking the level. The dealership is a long ways away(60-70 miles) and the wife drove it a few places after the service so it probably has been at least 100 miles since done. Now it will have to be driven another 60+ miles back to the dealer. Also I know theres been some issues with the new AWD R's getting overfilled but mine is the S version. Needless to say i'm not happy one bit.

The techies that do oil changes are not the same people that do more complicated work. Not even the best mechanic shop run by master technicians would be 100% error-free. It is how they handle mistakes (own up to it) and how often these mistakes happen (infrequently) is the difference between good and bad shops. I think it is too early to reach conclusions from 1 data point.

Good idea Foosh and Slee_stack. Update though, since making this post I have driven the car two more times and waited 45 minutes afterward then checked the level and the level was ok. The times before I only waited 10-15 minutes before checking so maybe I jumped the gun. I went by what the manual said and it said wait 10 minutes. Seems maybe thats to soon to check the levels on these cars. I'll check it again one or two more times later today and I will let you guys know the result.

I have also received inconsistent readings when checking 15 minutes or less after driving per the manual. However, in my case, it often shows less than full unless I wait longer.
I usually check it 1/2 to 1 hour after driving, or alternatively after sitting overnight before I start it, and it has always indicated exactly full.

I've had the same issue. Checked the oil after 30 minutes and got the overfill notice on my 2015 V8S.
After reading this thread I checked again - the car has not been started 18 hours. The level now seems to be full and okay.
Im taking it in the morning to the dealership and look into this further. I miss having a proper dipstick.

Do you get a "not available" message when trying to check it after it sits overnight?
